Black Ophanim Logo

Black Ophanim

Having been described as, “intellectually playful, “ Black Ophanim creates music in inspired and improvisatory fashions. Jazz is only the foundation of the music, with RnB, Hiphop, and funk being heavily seasoned into the tunes. The music may be written by Jonathan Leach, but it is made whole and new by the rest of the band. Any show you catch will be guaranteed to be the only one of its kind.

Lucas Kellison was born and raised in the armpit of Nebraska.  A full-time touring musician for a decade, Kellison honed his multi-instrumental and lead vocal chops with various acts.  He has been in and shared the stage with various acts, including George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic (bass/vocal), Gorillaz, Leela James, Dead Prez, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and many others.
